Life is overcoming entropy.


So it seems.

But life itself is simply sunlight falling to earth if you think about it biochemically.

In other words as far as we know, life is a channel for and manifestation of entropy.

Don't you think, that by same extension, car is just Gas/Fuel coming in from a Gas/Fuel station?

I am sorry, but I find most essays on the topic of 'meaning of life' escapist. Or rather answering a different question on how best to live life, with the assumption that the real meaning is unknowable.

None of these essays satisfy my need to know, what it is actually all about.

Talking about this essay, its excellent no doubt. But IMHO its misleading all the same.
